SC Directory May Come Out If Supported
“At many schools, among them Berkeley, Miami, and Minnesota, an effective system of student discounts has been worked out and we feel that this system is even more possible here,” said the letter from Cecelia Campbell, chairman of the UCLA Economic Affairs commission.
UCLA, Loyola, Pepperdine, Mount Saint Mary’s, Immaculate Heart. LACC. and Marymount are the schools now working on the discount plan.
“With the participation of SC in this plan we will represent approximately 35,000 students—an effective bargaining power any way you look at it,” Miss Campbell said.
She asked that the ASSC appoint a representative to work with the group.

Schools Invite Senate Probe
By United Press
An official of the Association of American Colleges today challenged Sen. Joseph McCarthy to find any serious Communist infiltration into the educational system.
Eugene S. Briggs, president of Phillips University of Enid. Okla., and chairman of the Association’s Commission on Academic Freedom and Tenures, told a press conference that American educators would welcome an investigation by the red-hunting Wisconsin Republican Senator.
“No group in the United States has a cleaner record,” said Briggs, here for the association’s three-day convention. “We’ve got nothing to worry about.”
Briggs said he did not believe McCarthy would turn up any sensational information during his announced investigation of the educational system but added that the Senator was welcome to try.
The university president said he was flatly opposed to loyalty oaths for teachers, however, because they “just mess up the waters" of the educational system by creating a false impression that subversives have made inroads in the nation’s schools.

Volpone Author Perry Imbues Opera Plot With Deep Americana
The results of the combined talents of directors, composers, and actors from MGM, Columbia Pictures, and SC will be reviewed in the world premiere of “Volpone,” an American opera, Friday in Bovard auditorium.
The libretto, or script of the opera, adapted from Ben Johnson’s English play about a 16th century confidence man of Venice, has been modernized by Alfred Perry, film editor for Columbia, in cooperation with musical composer of “Volpone,” George Antheil.
Perry has worked with Antheil on such pictures as “Knock on Any Door,” “In a Lonely Place,” and “The Sniper,” with Antheil doing the musical scores and Perry the lyrics.
At the age of 24, Perry became associate director and dramatist of a theater in Vienna, and was responsible for setting a new style of theatrical production in the city. He also studied in Berlin and Munich, and wrote successfully for Radio Berlin.
“Volpone’’ is a satire brought up to date which tells the story of a miser and his gold. The miser is surrounded by legacy-hun ters waiting for him to die. In the words of composer An heil it is of strict Americana flavor though.
Anthiel adapted his opera to an English play because it has “a certain rough and ready humor that appeals to we Americans who are essentially a fun-loving people.” In attempting to create an American style of opera, Anthiel felt it would be best to begin with a European plot and give it “a native twist, color, and method.”
Carl Ebert, head of the SC opera department, will direct “Volpone,” with Wolfgang Martin, of MGM, as musical director. Ebert was director of “The Consul.” last year’s very successful production of the opera workshop which was played 25 times in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Before coming to MGM, Martin was conductor of the Metropolitan opera.
Paul Keast, experienced actor-singer, will play the title role. Caesar Curzi and Marvin Haynes, SC students, have the top supporting roles of Mosca, Volpone's servant, and Voltore, a greedy legacy-hunter.
Performances of the opera will be giver, on Jan. 9, 10, 16. and 17 in Bovard auditorium. Tickets are on sale at the SC ticket office and may be reserved by telephoning PRospect 6611.
MARILYN MONROE disappointed SC, scholastically that is, when she revealed she had given the famous Reinhardt manuscripts to the late director's son. The Doheny library needed manuscripts to complete its Reinhardt collection. There still is a chance SC may get the manuscripts.
Director s Son Gets Manuscripts

Survey Slated
Commerce instructors will be “in the know” next week when 4000 students get a chance to tell their professors just what they think of them in the School of Commerce’s third annual Instructor Rating survey.
Sponsored by the Commerce council, this survey will give students in 60 courses the opportunity to grade their professors.
“We believe this method is the most effectiev means of communicating student ideas and criticisms to instrutcors,” said Terry Gordon, commerce president. “And we believe such comment will be of excellent aid to these instructors.” Efficiency Rating Starting Monday, questionnaires will be passed out asking commerce students approximately 45 questions relating to the efficiency of classroom instruction. The instructors will be rated as excellent, good, average, fair, and poor.
General student reaction will be considered on the value of the course, whether or not it was worthwhile, how much the student
acquired from the course, and the degree of interest it aroused.
There will also be a more detailed breakdown covering the instructor's presentation of the subject, his organization of material, his manner of speaking, his blackboard technique, and other specific details.
One section will ask the student to compare the course with other commerce courses and with other university courses.
Finally, there will be a section asking the student’s recommendations for improving the course, decrease in students during the Student Opinion
The main objective of the survey is to give students an opportunity to express their opinions of the instructors and their methods. It will also give the instructor the comforting or discomforting knowledge of what his class thought of him.
This information will be used only for the instructor’s benefit and commenting students will not sign the questionnaires.
Musicians Play Own Works Today
Musical compositions w'ritten by students in the department of composition will be presented at today’s Music at Noon program. The four-part program will begin at 12:15 in Hancock auditorium.

Two songs taken from “On the Text of Robert Frost” will be given by soprano Joy Kim. Joseph Pearce, a student of Elis Kohs, wrote the music for the two songs, “Nothing Gold can Stay,” and Come In.” Louis Malone will accompany Miss Kim.
Another composer, Barbetta Heartwell, will play her composition “Theme and Variations for Piano.” The program will conclude with “Three Pieces for Three WToodwinds,” by Henry Levine. Levine has studied under Halsey Stevens.
Theodore Welch will play flute, Fred Harlow’, clarinet, and Richard Braun, bassoon, in the concluding selection.
Rooters Tickets Going Fast for Cage Series
More than 275 rooters’ tickets for SC’s basketball games with UCLA this weekend at Westwood were purchased yesterday during the opening day of ticket sales, according to John Morley, university ticket manager.
First day sales revealed that more ;han 100 tickets for Friday night’s game and 175 for the Saturday night skirmish were sold.
Activity book holders will be able to obtain tickets during the remainder of the week, Morley said.
A-book numbers will again determine the tickets that may be purchased during today’s sale. Activity book holders of numbers 1 to 2500 will be eligible for tickets for the Friday night game only.
Students who hold books numbered 2500 and up will be eligible for only Saturday night tickets.
If the available allotment of 750 tickets-per game has not been sold by tonight, remaining tickets for either game will bo on sale tomorrow morning at 9 to book holders.
Rooters’ tickets are priced at 50 cents.
In order to keep ticket distribution fair, a reverse number procedure will be used for A-book holders when SC hosts UCLA at the Pan Pacific during their Feb. 27-28 series. Students eligible for Friday night tickets this weekend will be permited to buy Saturday night tickets for the February series and vice versa.
Enrollment Expected to Be Down Slightly
Howard W. Patmore, registrar, yesterday estimated that the daytime spring enrollment would hit 10,000 students, which he explained would be about a five per cent enrollment drop from the fall semester.
He did not think the enrollment mark would equal the fall enrollment of 10,571, but would be close to last spring’s mark of 10,280. He explained that there is always a decreashe in students during the spring semester.
Patmore also said he expected approximately h^f the students would enroll during pre-registration which began yesterday morning and will continue through Saturday.
Number Unknown
The registration office does not know how many have registered so far, but registration materials were handed out to 2500 students Monday and approximately 2000 more yesterday. The information office disclosed that 5600 class schedules have already been passed out.
Patmore reported that pre-registration is going along smoothly except for the cramped quarters in the basement, of Commons. He explained that pre-registration is usually conducted in the gym, but cannot be this year beacuse classes are still going on.
“We need large open spaces for registration and there just isn’t any such thing when classes are in session,” he said.
Less Confusion A registration worker reported that' there is surprisingly little confusion and that most students know what they are doing. “Many students are pleasantly surprised that one class card now: takes the place of three,” he said.
Registration workers at the Korean veterans desk at the end of the registration line sa ’ that a few students managed to register ahead of their name schedule. They produced 30 cards belonging to overanxious registrants.
Pre-registration for the rest of the week will be, today, I-L, 9 a.m.; M-N, 10:30; O-S, 1 p.m.; tomorrow. T-Z. 9 a.m.: and any letter tomorrow afternoon, all day Friday and Saturday until 1 p.m.

Student to Give Brahms Concert
A recital of the Brahms Cycle, “Romanzen aus Magalone,” will be presented by graduate student Charles Monroe in Hancock auditorium at noon today.
This is the first time that the Cycle has been presented in Southern California. According to Monroe’s teacher, Mario Chamlee, it is one of the really great cycles of Brahms, and is rarely performed because of its difficulty.
Monroe, formerly with the Army Air Fopce Special Service, had roles in the operas “Marriage of Figaro and” “La Traviata.”
Dr. Reynolds Honored
Dr. Kenneth C. Reynolds, head of the department of general engineering, was elected to the executive committee of the Pacific Southwest section of the American Society for Engineering Education at its annual meeting at San Luis Obispo over the holidays.
SC s TV Program Receives Award From Magazine
i
“Halis of Science,” SC’s weekly television program, yesterday received the TV-Radio Life Magazine 10th annual distinguished achievement award in the field of education.
The educational program, which will celebrate its first anniversary on March 1, is seen Sunday evenings over KNBH Channel 4, features a different professor each week from a field of scientific study.
Ed DeRoo, instructor in telecommunications. selects faculty members to appear in the show and assists them, on programming techniques. Carroll O’Meara, producer-director for NBC and KN BH, is in charge of the telecast.
In addition to the TV-Radio Life Magazine educational award, “Halls of Science” was also honored as the second choice of the Southern California committe for the George Foster Peabody Radio i and Television national awards. The Johns Hopkins Science Review, which has been on television for five years, was the first choice of the Peabody committee in this area.
Miss Monroe became the “victim” of another burst of publicity when she acquired the coveted scripts at an auction early in December.
Marilyn Wooed
She has since been “wooed” by SC, UCLA and Harvard. as each realized the value of the manuscripts as collector’s items.
SC Librarian Lewis F. Stieg is particuarly interested in acquiring the books since the University library already has an extensive collection of Reinhardt works.
In the process of “wooing” Miss Monroe, the Daily Trojan assigned a reporter as “special emissary” to approach her at Twentieth Century Fox Film Studios during SCs holiday vacation for a personal interview'.
While conducting the interview, it might have been suggested that the actress loan, donate, or sell he 178 volumes to SC and thus complete the university’s collection.
As For As Door
In his assignment, the reporter got as far as Miss Monroe’s dressing room door—and even shook her hand, but the interview had to be postponed. More than two dozen cameramen, make-up artists, and costume designers were running into over-time pay while waiting for her to step in front of the technicolor cameras.
Miss Monroe w^as dressing for a scene in Twentieth Century’s new film, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” in which she co-stars with Jane Russell.
Diamond Costume
Preparing to sing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Miss Monroe was clad in a costume of sheer lace and thousands of diamonds.
The reporter’s interview with her was postponed until Wednesday (today), and her announcement regarding the 178 manuscripts was made yesterday.
Miss Monroe was quoted yesterday as saying that “the placement of the books is up to Reinhardt’s son, who insists on reimbursing me for the auction price.” She paid S1335.
SC's present collection of Reinhardt theatrical material is valued at about $12,000 and contains 3000 items. It is housed in the rare book room of the Doheny Memorial Library building.
First Editions
The collection includes many first editions of plays, rare German play scrapbooks, scenic designs, constume sketches, and other items of 'considerable interest to drama scholars.
Since Miss Monroe has now relinquished all claims to the books, it looks like SCs quest to complete their Reinhardt collection will take them to another studio and a new owner.
Gottfried Reinhardt has produced or co-produced for MGM such films as “Comrade X.” “Command Decision,” and “Red Badge of Courage.”
Fellowship Croup To Hear of Riches
Dr. Tom Westwood, national radio lecturer and Bible teacher, will address the Trojan Christian Fellowship on “The Way to True Economic Wealth in This Fluctuating Age” at noon today in Bowne hall.
Born in Scotland, Dr. Westwood attended the University of Edinburgh, and received his Litt. D. from the London university.
He is now in his 20th year of broad casting “Bible Treasury Hour.”

i
“Halis of Science,” SC’s weekly television program, yesterday received the TV-Radio Life Magazine 10th annual distinguished achievement award in the field of education.
The educational program, which will celebrate its first anniversary on March 1, is seen Sunday evenings over KNBH Channel 4, features a different professor each week from a field of scientific study.
Ed DeRoo, instructor in telecommunications. selects faculty members to appear in the show and assists them, on programming techniques. Carroll O’Meara, producer-director for NBC and KN BH, is in charge of the telecast.
In addition to the TV-Radio Life Magazine educational award, “Halls of Science” was also honored as the second choice of the Southern California committe for the George Foster Peabody Radio i and Television national awards. The Johns Hopkins Science Review, which has been on television for five years, was the first choice of the Peabody committee in this area.
Miss Monroe became the “victim” of another burst of publicity when she acquired the coveted scripts at an auction early in December.
Marilyn Wooed
She has since been “wooed” by SC, UCLA and Harvard. as each realized the value of the manuscripts as collector’s items.
SC Librarian Lewis F. Stieg is particuarly interested in acquiring the books since the University library already has an extensive collection of Reinhardt works.
In the process of “wooing” Miss Monroe, the Daily Trojan assigned a reporter as “special emissary” to approach her at Twentieth Century Fox Film Studios during SCs holiday vacation for a personal interview'.
While conducting the interview, it might have been suggested that the actress loan, donate, or sell he 178 volumes to SC and thus complete the university’s collection.
As For As Door
In his assignment, the reporter got as far as Miss Monroe’s dressing room door—and even shook her hand, but the interview had to be postponed. More than two dozen cameramen, make-up artists, and costume designers were running into over-time pay while waiting for her to step in front of the technicolor cameras.
Miss Monroe w^as dressing for a scene in Twentieth Century’s new film, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” in which she co-stars with Jane Russell.
Diamond Costume
Preparing to sing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.” Miss Monroe was clad in a costume of sheer lace and thousands of diamonds.
The reporter’s interview with her was postponed until Wednesday (today), and her announcement regarding the 178 manuscripts was made yesterday.
Miss Monroe was quoted yesterday as saying that “the placement of the books is up to Reinhardt’s son, who insists on reimbursing me for the auction price.” She paid S1335.
SC's present collection of Reinhardt theatrical material is valued at about $12,000 and contains 3000 items. It is housed in the rare book room of the Doheny Memorial Library building.
First Editions
The collection includes many first editions of plays, rare German play scrapbooks, scenic designs, constume sketches, and other items of 'considerable interest to drama scholars.
Since Miss Monroe has now relinquished all claims to the books, it looks like SCs quest to complete their Reinhardt collection will take them to another studio and a new owner.
Gottfried Reinhardt has produced or co-produced for MGM such films as “Comrade X.” “Command Decision,” and “Red Badge of Courage.”
